BRHD recorded 119 new laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Halloween, the largest single-day increase outside of testing clinics tied to an outbreak at a meatpacking plant in Hyrum in June. On Sunday and Monday, however, the district reported only 48 and 40 new cases, respectively, well below the average of daily new cases across October. Read the rest of the story on HJnews.com.
